Sizing

Shoulder pad sizing is by chest measurement, not jersey size. Most adult pads fit chest 90-120 cm depending on the model. Lineman pads add wider torso coverage. Open chat with your chest measurement and position for a fit recommendation.

What to Wear With

Most players pair shoulder pads with a back plate for spinal protection on contact. We stock Reyrr Dawg and Gold Back Plates, plus brand-specific accessory back plates from X-TECH and others.

FAQ

What's the difference between skill and lineman shoulder pads?

Skill pads are lighter and lower profile, with bigger arm openings for range of motion. Lineman pads extend coverage across the chest, ribs, and back for repeated contact. All-purpose sits in between for two-way players.

How do I size shoulder pads?

Measure your chest at the widest point in cm and match it to the model's size chart. Most adult pads fit chest 90-120 cm. Sizing is by chest, never by jersey size.

How should shoulder pads fit?

The arches should sit on your shoulders without pinching, and the pad body should cover your sternum and upper ribs. If the pad slides when you raise your arms, tighten the straps or size down.

Do I need a back plate?

Not required, but most players add one. It mounts to the rear arch and covers the lower spine. We stock Reyrr Dawg and Gold Back Plates plus brand-specific options.

Can I return shoulder pads?

Yes. 14-day returns on unused pads in original packaging.
